Chapter 151 - Misunderstandings
The car soon stopped under the apartment building in an awkward atmosphere.
"I'm leaving." Lin Sitong said softly as he prepared to open the carriage door.
Just as Lin Sitong placed her hand on it, a black figure suddenly fell over. Lin Sitong was startled, and looked towards Pei Qingheng.
Pei Qingheng looked at Lin Sitong with a pair of calm eyes, and the emotions in his eyes became complicated for a moment. After a while, he whispered: "Lin Sitong, pay attention to your safety."
How could such a short cut be unsafe?
Lin Sitong's eyes were a little hot, and she lowered her head in a camouflage. She answered indifferently and jumped off the carriage in a panic.
Seeing Lin Sitong's figure disappear below the apartment building, Pei Qingheng finally could no longer suppress the true emotions in his heart, and his face immediately became gloomy. Pei Qingheng's finger tapped on the steering wheel for a while before he took out his phone.
"Hello? "Who is it?" A sweet voice came from the other side.
Pei Qingheng frowned as though he could pinch a fly to death, and said coldly: "Let Ling Xiaorui pick up the phone."
"Are you looking for Second Master?" the woman asked with a smile. "Wait a moment ~"
Pei Qingheng's face was expressionless, but the rhythm of the knocks on the steering wheel increased his frequency.
After a series of rustling sounds, Ling Xiaorui's loose voice came from afar: "Little darling, who is it?"
"I don't know," the woman said coquettishly.
Following that, Ling Xiaorui's voice became clearer.
"Third Bro?" Ling Xiaorui's voice sounded somewhat surprised, "Why did you think of giving me a call?"
Pei Qingheng's patience seemed to have run out. After hearing Ling Xiaorui's voice, he immediately went back to the main topic at hand, "Go and tell him something."
After hearing Pei Qingheng's instructions, a hint of surprise flashed across Ling Xiaorui's beautiful Peach Blossom Eye: "What are you doing?"
"Do as I say." Pei Qingheng said indifferently, "Also, check to see if anyone has come looking for Lin Sitong recently."
"Alright." Ling Xiaorui rolled his eyes, "You're always my uncle! I'll go and work for you right now! "
"This period of time …" Pei Qingheng's voice paused for a moment, and then he continued in a low voice, "Forget it, that's all."
Something was wrong... Ling Xiaorui squinted, "Did something happen between you and my sister-in-law again?"
Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiaorui heard the sound of a phone being disconnected.
Tsk, it really is a grandpa!
"Second master, who is this?" The lady who had just picked up the phone gently stuck onto Ling Xiaorui's body, a look of curiosity and interest flashed past his eyes. His fingers, covered with a fresh red nail polish, circled around Ling Xiaorui's chest.
Ling Xiaorui indifferently swept a glance at the woman. Within the amorous Peach Blossom Eye, there was actually a trace of coldness hidden deep within. He pushed the woman away and said with a smile, "Someone you'll never be able to get in your life."
Her thoughts were immediately exposed by Ling Xiaorui, and she was stunned in place for a moment.
Tsk, boring.
These women these days, each one of them was more boring than the last.
Ling Xiaorui glanced at the woman, clicked his tongue teasingly, and turned to dial another number: "Hello? President? "Let me tell you something …"

After Lin Sitong returned to the apartment, he sat on the sofa in a daze.
He seemed to have a lot of things on his mind, but he didn't think about anything else. He only felt that he was lazy and didn't want to move at all.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Sitong heard the sound of the apartment's door opening, but she still lazily hugged her knees in place.
"We're working overtime again …" Qiao Nana's voice reached Lin Sitong's ears.
With a "pa" sound, the light in the living room was turned on, and the ear-piercing light caused Lin Sitong to unconsciously close her eyes.
"Yo!" Qiao Nana's frightened figure came over, "Are you home? Why don't you turn on the lights? "
Lin Sitong hugged her knees, and upon hearing Qiao Nana's question, she said lightly: "Sorry."
Qiao Nana squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes, directly put her bag on the shoe shelf, and sat next to Lin Sitong. "Darling, what's going on with you these two days? Did that bastard surnamed Pei bully you? "
Hearing Qiao Nana mention Pei Qingheng, Lin Sitong's back immediately stiffened.
"It's really him?" A flame appeared in Qiao Nana's eyes, "I'll teach him how to conduct herself!"
With that, Qiao Nana quickly stood up and rolled up her sleeves.
"What are you doing!" Lin Sitong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pulled on Qiao Nana's arm, "It's not because of him, it's because of something else."
Qiao Nana turned her head to look at Lin Sitong. After pondering for a moment, she raised her eyebrows: It's your group of top quality family members?
The corner of Lin Sitong's mouth revealed a bitter smile, but she did not say anything.
Qiao Nana paused, then sat back down by Lin Sitong's side and gently hugged Lin Sitong: "What happened to them? You're here to cause trouble again? "
Lin Sitong's body stiffened for a moment, and only after a long while did she slowly loosen her grip, and said softly: "It's still about the money."
"How much?" If you don't have enough money, I'll give it to you. "
Lin Sitong laughed bitterly: "They want five million."
"Are they crazy?!" Qiao Nana's voice suddenly rose, "Do they think that money is self-sufficient? Five million! If they're that powerful, why don't they just rob the banks? "
"Before …" Lin Sitong recounted the matters from before and laughed bitterly, "They have now determined that Pei Qingheng and I have a deep relationship."
"Then this matter... Does Pei Qingheng know? " Qiao Nana thought for a while, then asked Lin Sitong.
Hearing Pei Qingheng's name, Lin Sitong's heart stung for a moment. After a long while, she recovered and said, "He doesn't know. "He and I …"
Lin Sitong paused, her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a dull blade, and a heart-wrenching pain said: "It's impossible for him to be with me."
"Why?" Qiao Nana frowned, "He looks down on your family?"
Lin Sitong shook her head: "I don't want a family like mine to … It implicated him. Do you know what Lin Jiahai and my mother said? They said that if I didn't give them the money, they would make this known to the world. "Nana, Chu Xue is right, I can't be that selfish."
"Who is Chu Xue?" Qiao Nana quickly captured the name of an unfamiliar person.
Lin Sitong pursed her lips and did not answer.
Qiao Nana did not continue to be conflicted over this person's name, and asked again: "Then do you have any intention of asking him?"
"No, I don't want him to know anything about this." Lin Sitong said softly, his mouth full of a bitter taste.
Qiao Nana's gorgeous eyebrows were filled with worry and pain as she gently caressed Lin Sitong's back.
"Ding ling ling ~"
Qiao Nana's phone suddenly rang.
"Go to the phone." Lin Sitong straightened her body and gently pushed Qiao Nana.
